Shingles of the gums is a very painful condition and many professionals don't even know it exits as I found out today at my Dr's office. The nurse practitioner told me, after I told her that I thought I have Shingles of the Gums, that you can't get Shingles of the gums. The herpes zoster virus can climb up the spine to the trigeminal nerve causing painful gums.

Can you get shingles from lying in a bed after someone else who had shingles say in a hospital?

Shingles is caused by the chickenpox virus. You do not get shingles from someone with shingles; you get chickenpox from someone with shingles. Then when you get older, you will get shingles because you had chickenpox. Or, you might get older and never get chickenpox. In that case, you will thank your mother for having you vaccinated against chickenpox when you were a child.
